The song came from a phone call Clark had with Jessie Dillon about a guy she was dating. And then when they wrote the song with Shane McAnally, their idea was always to write a song that represented the anti-girl next door. Hence the hook, “If you want the girl next door, then go next door.”

Of the “Virgin Mary metaphor” line, Clark says: “This goes against that Virgin Mary metaphor. Growing up, I felt pressure to be a good girl.”

On the Barbie doll comparisons, Clark says: “We’re all pretty imperfect, so I think that all of us at some point feel that pressure. For a guy, their guy next door would maybe be Tim Tebow. Or Ken doll.”

On that great line when she sings, “Sorry I ain’t sorry that I ain’t your Marcia Brady,” Clark says Brady is the ultimate girl who is always in control.

“Who wouldn’t want to be Marcia? All girls wish they were that, starting with Jan Brady. Everything’s easy for her. The football player wants to date her, all the girls want to be her friend. But that character doesn’t exist, she’s a made up character in a TV show,” Clark says.
